`Senior Idol' Praised

May 27, 2006|Norma and Blanche Portnoy Hillsboro Beach

A very big thank you to Holy Cross Hospital for sponsoring "Senior Idol" at the Parker Playhouse.

We had the privilege to attend this great evening of live entertainment. The 12 senior "finalists," selected from over 100 contestants, were all wonderful -- aged 67 to 88 years young! They all sang ageless songs and truly are idols to emulate.

This competition was part of Holy Cross Hospital's 50th anniversary celebration. How fortunate for us to live in a community that has Holy Cross to take care of all our needs, both physical and emotional, and to keep us well. Hope they make this an annual event!
